up until jan 11 at the International Center for Photography, 43rd and 6th ave
saw this today; an impressive mega-show, all large b/w prints, well over a hundred images i am sure.
a few comments:
he is a master at chiaroscuro, texture, line and composition; some truly amazing landscapes playing with abstraction and scale.
the printing is digital on Ilford.
for those of us used to the crisp detail, fineness of focus and exceptional resolution of medium format digital, you may be disappointed technically. grain is emphasized, many highly detailed images are not quite in sharp focus, contrast is maybe over emphasized, near/far compositions beg for a better depth of field usage, blah, blah, blah.
an exceptional image maker and an inspiring show
also opening (simultaneously) at Yancey Richardson in Chesea, NYC, 12/11-1-24, opening on 12/11
